The One (Shelter Mixes)

Luv Dancin

Luv Dancin' are back with their third release featuring a competent Shelter treatment from Timmy Regisford (with keys by Buttafingaz) for “The One” by Prince. Side A includes a great piano and flute line over a tasty house groove. On the flip, he delivers a little less vocal and brings up the instrumentation in the mix.

Music Sounds So Good With You

Stalwart

Here we have a little something for everyone from Stalwart. Produced by Steven Stone with vocals by David B. Whitley, “Music Sounds So Good With You” is a soulful song for the dancefloor. Our man Anto Vitale offers his typical dope synths to the song, taking it to another level. Dom Navarra goes into a smooth tribal affair and Floy & Felly inject a funky bassline, creating a dancefloor winner.

Corinne Bailey Rae

Like a Star (Shelter mixes)

Underground Access

After the DFA mixes (FallOut Records, 2006), here we have the Shelter retreatment for “Like a Star” by Corinne Bailey Rae. You know the deal… funkish bassline, jazzy heys and an absolutely gorgeous synth solo, everything in its right place.

Just Fine

Mary J Blige/Chaka Khan feat. MJB

Just Fine/Disrespectful (Jovonn remix)

White

MJB is very popular among house producers; Quentin Harris, Jihad Muhammad, Groove Assassin, William “ReelSoul” Rodriguez and now Jovonn, just to name a few, already gave their reinterpretation to some of her songs. How many of us were waiting for the release of these remixes, particularly “Just Fine”? Get this record and you will catch Jovonn at his best.

Kenny Carvajal ft. Marissa Guzman

But I Do

Juicy Lucy

Seems like a while since we heard from mr.Carvajal, and what could fit better at this time of year than this "warm" reunion. Sweet and quirky vocals from Marissa Guzman adds to a simple summery afrogroove in the original vocal, but the ep also includes an instrumental version. The Thinkers Aid to the SouLLess Monkeynuts mix goes on a refreshing nu samba jazz-trip with a sultry bassline and organ.
